Atlantica Miramare Beach Hotel. We have visited Cyprus quite a few times but never Limassol so thought to give it a try. The hotel overlooks the sea in a nice position with plenty of room around the three pools and no lack of sunbeds. The beach however is not really suitable for sunbathing or beach activities, its very narrow and made up of pebbles and black volcanic sand. In the hotel we had use of one of the buffet restaurants the a la cart was closed, presumably as it was early season. The food was very good and the staff in the restaurant and bars gave excellent service. Some bars and restaurants on the main road into the main town which is really a bus ride away unless you can do the approximately 2 miles walk. The room was spacious and kept very clean, the double bed was one of the best we have ever had in a hotel. The bathroom could do with refurbishment, an over bath shower isn't really suitable in this rating of hotel. Old Town and the marina area in the centre of town are worth a visit. Intercity buses run to all the other large cities and towns are frequent and good value.

“Beautiful setting, but isolated, poor mobility access, and disrupted by maintenance”

We recently stayed at the Atlantica Miramare Beach and had a very mixed experience overall. On the positive side, the hotel itself and the staff were excellent. Our room was lovely, clean, and comfortable, with a kettle provided and a beautiful sea-view balcony right on the coastline. The location is stunning, with the hotel practically on the seafront. You step out onto a small path and then straight onto the beach. The staff were consistently helpful and friendly throughout our stay, and I want to give a special mention to Lloyd, who went above and beyond in looking after both me and my elderly mother, even helping to repair her mobility aid when it broke. The kitchen staff were also outstanding, particularly with gluten-free/celiac requirements. They clearly explained what I could and couldn’t eat, checked with the chef when needed, and even provided gluten-free bread. When we missed a couple of evening meals due to visiting family, we were given vouchers so we didn’t go without. However, there were some significant downsides. The local area has very little to do, so if you are looking for nightlife or entertainment, this is probably not the right location. My elderly mother also found the beach difficult to access due to broken pathways and pebbles, which limited mobility access. A major issue during our stay was the amount of maintenance work taking place. On two mornings we were woken by noise from work directly below our room, and there was painting and sanding which created dust in the air. This aggravated my mother’s breathing. Several facilities were also closed throughout our stay, including pools, the jacuzzi, and the pool bar. Information from staff was inconsistent, with different answers given about when (or if) these facilities would open. This made the situation quite confusing at times. It also felt like there was a noticeable change when a large organised tour group arrived mid-way through our stay. Suddenly signage changed, a lifeguard appeared, and previously closed facilities seemed to open. The same evening, dinner was moved without prior notice into a different restaurant space that was hosting a large group event. We arrived to find it very busy and were left feeling awkward and out of place, as there was no clear seating process for smaller guests. Despite these issues, there were positives that cannot be ignored. The staff were genuinely excellent, the room was beautiful, and the setting right on the coast is stunning. There are also lots of friendly cats around the hotel and island, which was a lovely touch. Overall, this could be a fantastic hotel given its location and staff, but our experience was impacted by ongoing maintenance, inconsistent communication, and facilities not being available as expected during our stay. A real mixed bag, depending on timing.
